Brentwood’s Chick-fil-A® restaurant will open on Sept. 9 at 8590 Eager Road, according to a press release. The restaurant will award free Chick-fil-A for a year to the first 100 eligible adults in line when the doors open on Sept. 9.
The Brentwood First 100 event will award more than $32,000 in free food. A digital offer card loaded with a one-year supply of free Chick-fil-A Meals (52 meals with each consisting of a Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich, medium Waffle Potato Fries™ and a medium drink) will be given to each of the first 100 eligible adults, ages 18 and older with identification, in line when the doors open at 6 a.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 9.
If more than 100 people are onsite when the line opens at 6 a.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 8, all 100 spots will be determined by a drawing held that morning with those selected needing to camp out for 24 hours to secure their spot. This community event is open to guests residing in specific zip codes surrounding the restaurant. A complete listing of eligible zip codes and rules can be found at Chick-fil-A First 100 Promotion.
The restaurant is open Monday through Saturday from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., serving a full breakfast menu until 10:30 a.m. Like all Chick-fil-A restaurants, it is closed on Sunday.
